This places new key/value pairs into a dictionary, in this case

Try as I might, I couldn't convince exec to do it any differently.
The zope.testing package has a way to work around this from
setup/teardown functions passed to the DocFileSuite (or whatever wrapper
you're using). See the module zope.testing.module for the functions.
Thanks, I should've checked that!
Essentially, the __name__ needs to be set in test.globs; class
construction uses the global value for __name__ to provide __module__;
doctests normally don't have one, so it acquires the value from
__builtin__.__name__ instead. Which is, of course, horribly wrong.
Okay, so is this mystery mechanism that I was missing. Sorry to bother
people here on the list.
